University of St. Andrews: Ludwig Boltzmann (1844 1906)
A very in-depth biography of this wonderful individual who had numerous successes, Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution Curves included.
University of Waterloo (Canada)
University of Waterloo: Kinetic Theory of Gases
Takes the Boltzmann distribution mathematics and explains it. Not a simple site, but does provide nice historical links in addition to high-level explanation of the distribution.
